Defra and the FSA have published new guidance on bread and flour labelling and composition.
This UK-wide guidance is for food businesses and enforcement authorities. It aims to help with compliance with composition and labelling requirements in:
- The Bread and Flour Regulations (as amended in England and Scotland)
- The Bread and Flour Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 (as amended)
- The Bread and Flour (Wales) Regulations 2025
The Bread and Flour Regulations contain specific rules for bread and flour for human consumption in the UK. These include rules:
- for producers and importers of flour about the mandatory addition of certain vitamins and minerals to non-wholemeal common wheat flour – including the specific quantities and their chemical specifications
- about naming bread – when the terms ‘wholemeal’ and ‘wheat germ’ can be used in labelling and advertising
The guidance can be accessed here
